Problem displaying special characters

Question

Hi all This problem has been puzzling me for weeks now I have searched the internet looking for the answer but found nothing conclusive. I am trying to display these characters 'í ó é á ú ó ö' on a page but I seem to only get a strange combination of characters. I added this ' globalization requestEncoding =  ISO-8859-1  responseEncoding =  ISO-8859-1  /> ' to the web.config but it's only made some chars display correctly. Does anyone have any ideas on this one? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply diya I only use nvarchar and ntext fields for strings but unfortunately the problem is the display not the DB.

which control you r using to display? is this any table field?? to display special characters you have to take the data type as nvarchar coz it suppors special characters..
